31st December 2017.
After Vijayanagara kings the temples in
Tami Nadu are surviving because of the thirupani ( selfless service ) by the
Nattukottai Chettiars otherwise called as Nagarathars. All the nagarathars
comes under 9 Shiva temples and they also worship Lord Muruga/ Subramaniyar.
During Thai Poosam festival they use to walk with out chappal to the Murugan
Temples of Palani, Thiruthani, Thiruchendur from their residence.
In addition to this they used worship Lord
Murugan at a Common place where they are presently residing for a day or two. One of my friend of Konapet
( Ko Nagar ), invited me for their 18th year annual function of Swamy & Ambal
thirukalyanam and Arupadai Murugan alangara pooja at a Sri Krishna Swamy Kalyana Mandapam, on South Boag Road, Chennai.
Though the function was scheduled from early
morning 04.00 hrs with homam, I could able to attend only around 11.30 hrs. Had the darshan of Thiruthani, Swamimalai and Pazhamudir Cholai Sri Valli Devasena Murugan with beautiful sandal paste alangaram.

Through out the day the bhajan was performed by the
children. Enjoyed the hospitality of Ko Nagar ( Konapet ) Nagarathars and darshan of Sri Valli Devasena Murugan. Here are some pictures taken during my
visit....
